Invitrogen™ Human HTR2B (aa 240-326) Control Fragment Recombinant Protein

Description

Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (77%), Rat (77%). This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.

HTR2B is a g-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). It functions as a receptor for various ergot alkaloid derivatives and psychoactive substances. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. HTR2B also plays a role in perception of pain, regulation of behavior. It is required to normal proliferation of embryonic cardiac myocytes and normal heart development.
